Three in 10 Americans commit “financial infidelity” by lying to their spouses about money, sometimes suffering consequences such as separation or divorce, according to a new survey.

The Harris Interactive online poll of 2,019 adults released on Thursday showed 31 percent of American couples who have combined finances were not truthful about issues such as hiding cash or a bank account or about debt or earnings.

“Financial infidelity may be the new normal,” said Forbes.com, which commissioned the survey with the National Endowment for Financial Education.
